The personal fault liability of the Member of the Iraqi parliament

Abstract

     The personal fault liability of a member of the Chamber of Deputies is to compensate for the injury suffered by a member of the House of Representatives in breach of his legal obligation, and the basis for this responsibility is the law, because it is the law that determines its scope and provisions. Moreover, the Iraqi legislator in its Civil Code did not provide special provisions for the personal tort of a member of the House of Representatives, which should refer to the general rules, and on this basis the responsibility of the Member of the House of Representatives is personal tort, considering that the nature of the responsibility of the Member of the house derives from General rules of civil law requiring a member of the House of Representatives to take care and caution in his or her actions and any breach of this obligation must be held accountable in accordance with the provisions of personal tort. When a member of the Chamber of Deputies breaches the obligation imposed by law and in the form of injury to others, his or her personal fault liability is assumed, and compensation for the damage is required.
